Chapter 958 Double 1 Formation
Chapter 958 Double 1 Formation
Chapter 958
It's not too surprising that the Western Conference finals were scored 1:1. The gap between the two teams is not that big. This is basically everyone's consensus.
In the east, the Cavaliers are already 0:2 behind the Celtics, and Love frequently pulls his hips in the playoffs, so that everyone can finally see who is worthy of the title of giant, he or Irving.
It's normal for Love to habitually pull his hips on the defensive end, but he also pulls his hips on the offensive end, which makes people speechless.As long as he encounters a strong defensive team, he will habitually slump, which is also drunk.
Of course, the focus is basically on the West. Whoever rushes out of the West, the Thunder and the Warriors, basically pre-booked the championship.In the 7-game 4-win series, it is really difficult for the Xiagou team to beat their opponents.
G3 of the Western Conference Finals will be played in the Bay Area, and the Thunder have already boarded a flight to Oakland.The two games at the Oracle Center are very important. If they lose both, they will face a situation of 1:3 behind.If there is one win and one loss, they will play Tianwangshan at home.Of course, if they all win, then let the Warriors face a 1:3 backward situation again.It's just that unlike 2016, they don't have home court advantage.
On the evening of May 5th, G25 of the Western Conference Finals will be held at the Oracle Center Arena, home of the Warriors.Earlier in the day, the NBA officially announced the winners of the best team of the year.
Of course, Xie Kai was selected for the first round without any dispute, and the other four selected for the first round were Harden, James, Durant and Big Eyebrow.
This is Xie Kai's 6th first team and a total of 7 best teams in his NBA career.
Xie Kai's good brother Westbrook was selected to the second team, while Paojiao was selected to the third team.
There is no doubt that Xie Kai was selected for the first team. He has basically booked the regular season MVP (the award has not yet been awarded). If such a player cannot be selected for the first team, it would be a joke of the league.
The list of the best defensive team has also come out. Xie Kai, Holiday, Covington, Brother Nongmei and Gobert were selected for the first defense.
This is Xie Kai's fourth one defense in his NBA career. He has one defense this season, which is comparable to the peak Kobe.
This season, Xie Kai has harvested honors very well. If he can finally win the championship and FMVP, then he will be a grand slam of honor and become the No.1 of the season in the true sense.
Of course, it is still too early to talk about winning the championship. His opponent, the Warriors, was the first to refuse.
That night, at the Oracle Center.
The scene was almost a sea of gold, and the atmosphere of the Warriors' home court was quite good, making the home team players very comfortable.
In this game, the Warriors at home changed their formation. They removed Rooney, who played the center in the previous two games, and directly died in the starting five.
On the Thunder side, it is still the traditional lineup of Duck and Patterson.
Obviously, the Warriors are going to fight the bayonet. They have come up with an ace lineup, and they are going to have a showdown with the Thunder.The reason why Cole no longer hides it is because the two teams are too familiar with each other and have no cards to speak of. Instead of using this lineup in G4 or G5, it is better to use it in advance. There is also an opportunity for adjustment.
This season's Death Five is not as effective as last season. The reason is that the teams have studied this lineup for a long time, and have adapted to it, and have their own experience; It's getting worse and worse, so that the offensive pressure of this lineup is all on the big three of the tsunami. The opponent will choose to let go of the 3 points of Brother Yi and Green and attack the other 3 players.
However, the reason why Green and Iguodala are the other two of the dead five is never their offense, but their defense and organizational skills.
There is only one ball. In fact, a team does not need too many main attacking points, and the more ball-holding points, the better in theory, but if there is no good end, it is like the Warriors' second team before. Back and forth, the last one every day is useless.
No matter how good the cooperation is, if you can't send the ball to the basket, it doesn't make any sense.
At the beginning of the game, the Warriors at home were extremely active. The five small lineups ran all over the field at the beginning of the game, and the pass-and-cut tactics were flying.
The strategy of the Thunder team is to empty the top 3 points of the chasing ball. If you have the ability, you can shoot me to death, give the first brother a certain chance of 3 points from the bottom corner, do not give the three tsunami brothers empty space, and strictly guard against the 3 points of the splash.
Green and the first brother hit the iron with "bang bang" when they came up, and the sound made the Warriors fans especially harsh.
The Thunder are playing steadily, and the opponent is dead, then I will pick and roll and hit you with my big man.Xie Kai and Westbrook are looking for Curry to force him.
The Warriors' help defense is very fast. Duck can't easily overpower the opponent's small guy in the paint, but makes frequent mistakes.
The Warriors took advantage of the opponent's mistakes and scored a lot of points.
The Thunder decisively made substitution adjustments, replacing the targeted duck egg, and replaced it with Jeremy Grant, a tall and athletic winger, and also played a small lineup.
Grant is 203cm tall, has outstanding wingspan, good athletic ability, and has excellent ability to cooperate with the protective frame on the wing.Let him play the 4th position of a small lineup, which can well realize the rotation of defense and help defense, and avoid being opened up by the opponent's pick-and-roll and off-ball screen.
This adjustment made the on-site commentary feel incredible, which meant that Patterson was going to play the 5th position.In fact, the Thunder's lineup that reversed the situation last season was to let Gibson, who played the 4th position, play the 5th position, and finally won the opponent and advanced to the finals.
Compared with Gipson, Patterson is not as good against rebounds, but he has a very big advantage. He can shoot 3 points and can open up space.
The role of Patterson is somewhat similar to the Rockets playing PJ Tucker at center and the Cavaliers playing Kevin Love at center.
If Patterson plays center, then the Thunder's five players on the field can all have 5-point capabilities, and they can all stand outside the 3-point line, forcing the Warriors to expand.Of course, they can also choose to empty Grant's 3-pointers, because his 3-pointers are not stable.
Of course, there are hidden dangers for the Thunder to do this. Without duck eggs on the court, their frame guards will be under some pressure.Fortunately, both Patterson and Grant are tall, and the opponent is not a big attacking team, so they are not so deadly.Moreover, both Green and the first brother on the Warriors can let go of 3 points. In theory, their defenders can take turns to the basket to protect the basket.
When Patterson plays center, Westbrook and Xie Kai are the coolest. The two of them rush to the basket, and the opponent can only choose one of two bottles of poison.
The Warriors can also hit the basket through breakthroughs and passes, but the Thunder resolutely let go of Brother Yi and Green, and these two masters failed to make shots.The two made an embarrassing 3 of 7 1-pointers in the first half...
Later, neither of them dared to vote...
